The site is also taking pre-orders for figma Rin in her school outfit.

The Rin figma comes with a variety of expressions including a a smiling, winking, and excited faces.

It also comes with some accessories like a her school bag, the maracas she holds in the ending theme, two glow sticks in her image color, and an alternate front head part to display her hairstyle when training. Customers who pre-order through the Good Smile Company shop will get an additional "playing dumb" expression.

The figure costs 5,370 yen (US$44) and is expected to ship in March. Tamashii Nation's released its own articulated Rin figure as part of its S.H.Figuarts line.
